Example Concept: Rust's ownership model is built around three core principles: ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. Ownership ensures that each value in Rust has a single owner, which is responsible for deallocating the memory when it goes out of scope. Borrowing allows references to data without transferring ownership, and the borrow checker enforces rules to ensure references do not outlive the data they point to. Lifetimes are used to track how long references are valid, preventing dangling references and ensuring memory safety at compile time.
